Dave Johnston lives in Sheffield - Father, writer and climber, smarter than an onion, edgier than an orange, rasher than bacon. He can complete a Rubiks Cube in under 2 minutes, has a series of DIY disasters under his belt, and once broke some major bones in his body - now filed as a character building exercise.

Dave has published one novel and two novellas to date, lives in Sheffield, England, and likes gravy.

Creative Writing

Just found "Creative Writing" under the Community tab so thought I'd flag to anyone unaware of this.

I mean, you have to sift through the pile (weird stuff about gums and viagra), but there's some gems in there.

Anne (a Goodreads friend of mine) has a particularly fun little series:

You're welcome :o)

I saw that you had like Abbie's status that she had added my book to a November reading list. Convoluted, but a fun way of connecting.

Take care
